Does anyone have a good local source for the foam needed for this?

Try any upholstery place.  I'm  pretty sure it is the same stuff they use.  C&M textiles on merivale  was who we used.

Make sure it is not treated with anything like fire retardant.
Not sure, it is just something I heard.

I think you can get it in Toronto.
You can probably contact Udo and ask him.
